'Self-Forgetfulness' or 'ATHMA-VISMRUTHI ( Concealment- AVARANA ) results in manifestation ( projection- VIKSHEPA ) of the 'Phenomenal World' and 'Self-Awareness' or 'ATHMA-SMRUTHI' results in dissolution of the 'Phenomenal World'; and the Phenomenal world is nothing but 'SELF' ( Pure Consciousness ) with 'names and forms'.
~SWAATHMAARAAMAN
What is the nature of maya?
Maya is that which makes us regard as nonexistent the Self, the Reality, which is always and everywhere present, all- pervasive and Self-luminous, and as existent the individual soul (jiva), the world (jagat), and God (para) which have been conclusively proved to be nonexistent at all times and places.
